I arrived at the North Hills Toastmasters meeting around 6:45. Before that I did a little shopping at Kohl’s and Target and this little bookstore in McCandless Crossing (not really). I was greeted by the president of the North Hills chapter, Karl Matos, and a few other longtime members (Linda and Beverly). Dan Hurley rememberedContinue reading “Stylish Virtual North Hills Meeting”

It was a good Easter holiday, all things considered. I watched Cornerstone’s Easter service online (a majority of the members went to the parking lot to hear the drive in church service; however I stayed home). We ate Easter dinner around 3pm. Mom made Grandma’s stuffed chicken and mashed potatoes with stuffing. It felt likeContinue reading “Easter Rewind”

Today’s blog is part Stars Hollow, part Slippery Rock. I will do my review of Season Four of Gilmore Girls and Rory’s first year at Yale University. I’m also going to highlight the events leading up to when I started at Slippery Rock. As for Gilmore Girls, I thought I’d be done with the showContinue reading “Stars Hollow review, Slippery Rock preview”

I’m sending this blog out first and the Season Four Gilmore Girls review will be released tomorrow. I’d like to make this the first of a few virtual visits to the Earlybirds club. The next one will be a “what if” with a little Slippery Rock visit thrown in, just to show if I wasContinue reading “Stylish Earlybirds Visit”

I ate like a Gilmore this morning. Sausage Gravy on a biscuit with a fried egg 🍳. Drinking some coffee now. I feel like I’m at Luke’s. It’s my first blog since Saturday. I know the week isn’t over but I did want to review some of the things I did so far this week.Continue reading “Stylish Passion Week in Review… so far”

Another day, another “what if” blog. I can twist these however which way I want to too. A month after an awesome Area 21 contest, it was back to Pitt-Johnstown for the Division C contest. Could Dave Jones repeat his success at home and advance to the District finals? Would Faerie Grace continue her inspirationalContinue reading “Stylish Johnstown Contest 2.0”

Oh Greensburg Toastmasters fam, how I have missed you! Our last meeting was postponed due to the precautions we had to take for COVID 19. Therefore we tried our hand at having a zoom meeting. Michelle Teague, our Vice President of Education, got the meeting all set up for us. She and Jim were theContinue reading “Stylish Greensburg Zoom Meeting”

Day number two of my Division Contest run takes me to Oakdale and the West Allegheny Community Library. It’s Division Awesome’s turn to be in the spotlight this afternoon. My day began with church at Cornerstone. I attended the 11am service (I arrived around 10:15 to eat breakfast). I sat with some new friends IContinue reading “Stylish Division Awesome Contest”

This has been a historic month. I was looking forward to attending my Division Contests in Cranberry, Imperial, and Johnstown this month. All of that got wiped out by the Coronavirus pandemic. This month has changed my perspective on how I’ve looked at things. Obviously, the Stylish Traveling DTM has suffered has a result becauseContinue reading “What If: Stylish Division “Brilliant” Contest”

Good afternoon. Well Monday hasn’t improved so much from where it started. The rain has let up. We just have some drizzle 🌧 and it’s overcast 🌫. We haven’t gotten out of the 40s all day and it has felt like an actual Monday. Will tomorrow be any better? Before I answer that question, let’sContinue reading “Monday Afternoon Forecast”
